Abstract:

This study was carried out to investigate the replacement of fish meal with soybean meal and baker’s yeast on plasma biochemical parameters and resistance to anoxia stress in fingerlings of Mesopotamichthys sharpeyi belongs to the family cyprinidae. Fish with initial average weight of 4/40±0/29 gr were fed experimental diets (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% Replacement of fish meal) for 90 days. At the end of the experiment, biochemical factors such as cholesterol, triglycerides, total protein, albumin and globulin were measured. Based on the results, no significant difference was observed in total protein and globulin in experimental treatments compared with control group (p>0.05). But the amount of albumin in the control group was significantly higher than other treatments (p<0.05). Also, Cholesterol levels were significantly increased while amount of triglycerides were significantly decreased in alternative treatments compared with control group (p<0.05). Results of resistance to anoxia stress showed that used different levels of soybean and baker’s yeast in diet, had not negative impact on the survival rate of Mesopotamichthys sharpeyi, even fish resistance was more in anoxia stress compared with control group.
